An Evening in December

[Verse 1]
As I wait here in this evening in December
I remember how it felt to be a child
This old house still feels the same
All the family will be here in just a while
I hope daddy gets here first to build the fire
He's the only one who has that special touch
Then my brother with his kids
And my grandma who I love so very much

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm glad we'll be together on this evening in December
We'll watch the falling snow and hold each other close
I'm so glad we'll be together for an evening to remember
On this night, on this December night

[Verse 2]
Sometimes out on the road, it gets so lonely
'Cause I miss those special people I hold dear
Though our calendars are full
At least for this one night, we'll all be here
How the children love this evening in December
And while the smallest ones are playing on the floor
There's a warmth I can't explain
And I feel the love of those who've gone before

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm glad we'll be together on this evening in December
We'll watch the falling snow and hold each other close
I'm so glad we'll be together for an evening to remember
On this night, on this December night

[Bridge]
Keep the fire burning here until we all come back next year

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm glad we'll be together on this evening in December
We'll watch the falling snow and hold each other close
I'm so glad we'll be together for an evening to remember
On this night, on this December night
